Does anyone know how to automate the replacement of "no tuplet brackets" with tuplet brackets? I am revising a longish score, where I originally entered some of the tuplets with just the number and no bracket. It would help a lot if there were a way to automate their replacement with a bracket (if there isn't an existing one.) I am aware of the settings for new tuplets and brackets in the home menu, and for the ability to change the brackets via the Inspector. I have not found anything to make a global change in an existing score where the tuplets are already present in the way I have described. If there were a way to select all tuplets and do a find and replace, that would be perfect. I'll be so grateful if someone has a workable answer. Thanks. Michael

Select the whole score, open the Inspector and set Notes-->Tuplet to Bracket.
